ISA Seminar Series

Over the last two years, ISA has held a series of seminars to provide a forum for ISA researchers, staff, associates, and colleagues to discuss ideas and problems related to their work. ISA researchers and distinguished social scientists from other institutions were invited to make presentations on various aspects of social science research, methodology, and theory.

The ISA Seminar Series is currently on hiatus.
